Furano hotels

Pros: Five minute walk from the slopes Staff were extremely helpful and friendly Loved the cats

Cons: Western style beds were a little hard for me

Pros: Conveniently located near the gondola. The pension is clean, modern and has everything one needs. Breakfast is tasty as well. There are resident cats which makes it more homely. They picked us up from the train station and dropped us off. Highly recommended.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything, clean great location walking distant to the chair lift, can't fault this place, beautiful people ,great breakfest. Loved it..

Cons: There is nothing bad we can say about this place, but the matress was hard.

Pros: Close to ski lifts. Warm and comfortable. Friendly staff always willing to help.

Pros: Room is spacious, great location, and nice view out of the room (can see the mountains on a clear day) Lounge is quite cozy, the complimentary coffee, tea and hot/cold water dispenser was a bonus

Cons: Drying room for snow equipment had a pungent smell, could use some freshening up. There isn't anyone at the reception usually, except during check in hours, as the person goes out to snowboard prior. He is the only one who speaks decent English (not the best though). The accommodation only shares the Lavender shuttle schedule, there is an evening shuttle as well and it would be nice if they could provide complete information. Breakfast is quite one dimensional and on the salty side. Service level and quality received does not match up to price point of the rooms.

Pros: Great breakfast, they were very accomodating with dietary requirements. Very helpful with local information, busses etc. Drying room was very warm and ski room was excellent with some ski repair tools.

Cons: Best accom we have stayed in in Furano.

Pros: Jimmy is really very very nice. He will try to accommodate everyone's needs, from fetching us from a previous accommodation we were staying in, shuttling us to the ski resort and back everyday (even though we stayed out late one night and the timing was really difficult for him), sending us to the ski shop to return our heavy and cumbersome skis and sending us off to our next lodging location. On top of all these, he even gave my dad a private tour for 3 days in a row during our 4 nights stay! As my dad preferred not to go to the ski resort with us during the day, Jimmy decided to entertain him by bringing him sightseeing, visiting places and eateries unknown to tourists! And he did it without asking for any payment for his time and effort! We really enjoyed our time at Pension Ashitaya because of the wonderful hosts. Jimmy is always approachable, speaks good English, helpful, obliging, and even cracks jokes to bring us laughter too! His smiley wife and friendly daughter also made us feel very welcomed and at ease. We had dinner and breakfast there for 4 days. The food is always presented like a feast. Before we leave, we wanted to leave a tip to show our appreciation for their kindness, for all the time and effort, for all the additional free shuttling that Jimmy went out of the way to provide us with, but Jimmy insisted that we keep it and said all he wanted was for us to have a wonderful stay and to return again. Yes, thank you Pension Ashitaya, Jimmy and family, we hope to be back again!

Cons: Pension Ashitaya has two storeys with guest rooms on the second level, so be prepared to carry luggages up the stairs. However, dear Jimmy (our host) is always eager and willing to help with everything you need, including carrying your heavy luggages. We just felt bad letting him do the carrying and also worry about scratching the well polished wooden floor.

Pros: Super friendly host Cheap and delicious breakfast and dinner Cosy and comfortable room Free transport by the host from/to any nearby location Large bathroom which you can share with family and friends

Cons: The bedroom walls are thin, had minor difficulties sleeping due to noisy neighbors

Pros: Clean, warm, comfortable, and Mariko was always super friendly and accommodating.

Pros: Upon arriving, the owner welcomed us at the entrance which surprised both of us. It was really warm once entering into the pension. There are 3 floors without lifts. Walking distance to Ningle Terrace, New Prince Furano Hotel & Furano Ropeway despite the fact that you have to walk on slope which is quite tiring during winter. The host, Mariko only provides breakfast which costs JPY 1,000. Hearty breakfast with fantastic view. Mariko even invites us to take a stroll with her dog, Sumomo (Irish Setter). We truly enjoy our stay in Pension Gooseberry.

Pros: Me and three buddies stayed five nights at the Gooseberry. It is located near the Furano resort, we even walked to the resort one day. I found the property to be quiet, and clean. The host was amazing!

Pros: Very welcoming and enjoyable place!

Cons: Only thing I didn’t like is the vanity is in the room not inside the bathroom which is kind of odd.

Pros: Good. Clean

Pros: Wonderful buffet breakfast, excellent location, large rooms, access to laundry facilities. The hotel seems to take an effort to make you feel welcome a comfortable. Good public bath.

Pros: Restaurant was excellent . Complimentary snacks and desert bar ✅✅ Ski Locker ✅✅ Ease of access to ski lifts ✅ Voucher issue at check out ✅✅

Cons: Public Bath was very disappointing because the facility was being used by disrespectful western people , namely loud American and Australian citizens .They were noisy which detracted from the tranquil nature of the facility . Some users blatantly flaunted the regulations by displaying tattoos and drinking beer in the baths and loitering in the drying / manicure area . This regular situation could have easily been addressed by hotel management . Instead , they chose to ignore the negative behaviour at the expense of respectful guests .

Pros: Next to gondola. Afternoon coffee and snacks after riding.

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Good varied breakfast buffet. In-house onsen perfect after skiing, especially outside bath. Location for skiing is ideal at bottom of pistes. Bonus were the free snacks (hot potato, melted marshmallow) and beer early evening.

Pros: - location.

Cons: - poor facilities - extremely outdated - very unhelpful staff - terrible buffet

Pros: The free hot cocoa in the lobby

Cons: This hotel is very old and outdated. The Outdated appliances don’t work, the pillows and beds are flat and hard, and the staff did not speak english well and were not helpful

Pros: All the little extras included in the price. Massive delicious buffet breakfast to fill you up for a long day skiing. After skiing free delicious snacks, desert bar, beer, 24hr free coffee, tea and soft drinks as well as ice-cream. Loved the catch up with other Hotel guests while enjoying our snacks. Free toiletries and very comfy pillows at reception. The Onsen was another great experience after a long day skiing. Very comfy Samui supplied which many hotel guests wore around the hotel, going to breakfast or Onsen.

Cons: Lack of English speaking staff, only ~2 with English ok signs and one very helpful guy who had an App on his phone. Not very informed about what's happening or shuttle buses to other resorts - Tourist Information at the gondula much more informed. We got by for the 2 weeks in exploring and finding out information ourselves

Pros: At the base of the ski slopes In house onsen Great breakfast 1 free beer every night

Cons: 3rd bed is a futon

Pros: Once you settle into its routines, easy hotel to spend ski vacation. The catch is that you need to put in effort to figure it out. The ropeway is awesome with a mountain top restaurant that our kids loved!

Cons: Two BIG complaints. First the bellboy misplaced few pieces of our luggage on arrival, the system wasn’t very sharp here. Second, the ski rental people actually take away your rented skis if left in the common racks. We thought it was good precaution and service but turns out they consider them ‘lost’!!! Out to make a few more tiny bucks from unwary guests...? Oddly mischievous...

Pros: Close to the skiing area. Nice Onsen.

Pros: Location , convenience, bread shop

Pros: Very close to skiing

Cons: Food was very poor to average and restaurants very plain and no character Strange layout of hotel , Onsen hard to get to and use.

Pros: Breakfast was good with lots of variety offered. The outdoor onsen was beautiful experience with the forest trees facing. Had dinner at the Japanese restaurant with beef sukiyaki set for 2 pax, the serving was sufficient and service was good as the staff helped to cook.

Cons: The onsen was on the other side of the hotel and had to walk quite a distance.

Pros: The locker room is very close to ski lift.

Cons: The facility is a bit old and not many restaurants at the hotel. For skiers, lunch facility have limited menu.

Pros: Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was typically japan-like small but the ski locker and drying room makes up for that. Nice open bar event every night! Breakfast was very decent and tea and coffee available for free all day. Location is great, only 5 min walking distance to main gondola!

We are not allow to step in that house any time before 4pm. Make sure you come after 4pm if you do not wish to reminded few times to leave that place.

Pros: It has a family setting and quiet environment

Pros: Breakfast is very good and healthy. Beautiful mountain scenery. Friendly staff.

Cons: Only 1 shared bathroom. No air con in bedroom, but in mid-July the temperature at night is chilled.

Pros: Great host, very wonderful breakfast (American-style breakfast with a lot of local green + a slice of in season melon). The homestay was nicely decorated.

Cons: No air-conditioner in the room, only 1 small table fan, thus it may get stuffy during summer. Although there's mosquito net @ windows, there's still quite a number of flying bugs getting into the room.

Pros: Great atmosphere and staff was so friendly!!

Cons: Driveway very steep and a little remote if you don’t have a car

Pros: Great location in Kitanomine, walking distance to the slopes. Secure drying room lockers for your ski gear. Rooms were extremely spacious for Japan. They were also clean and comfortable. Onsen in the hotel was a bonus.

Pros: We loved a large room that we got from the upgrade. Our originally booked room had terrible smell coming from the toilet. However the staff upgraded it straight away.

Cons: Would like a bit more variety for breakfast. No cheese.

Pros: Comfortable beds, nice public bath, pretty central location for skiing and food, free parking and secure ski lockers.

Cons: They run a bus to/from the lift (walk is only about 500m but uphill and with ski gear). But you need to pre book in advance with a planned time. I don’t want to have to plan my day that precisely. You can’t get into the ski room to collect gear from inside - seems a simple thing. Also they have secure lockers but not enough for all their guests? The heating was super hot (I recorded 36 degrees in my room) and basically is on or off. Only way to moderate is to open a window which is ok, except when it’s -15 outside. A slightly more precise method would be good. Breakfast is expensive for what it is. Gave up after first day and just got a slice from the amazing coffee van at lift base. Either make it japanese or western and do one properly, rather than very mediocre both. The hotel was overpriced for what it was. I have stayed in really nice pensions at much more reasonable prices with brilliant food and comfy western and japanese style rooms. Sadly I wasn’t granted annual leave until too late to have any other choice.

Pros: We love the room, it’s nice ,modern, and comfortable. It has a good view too. The location is very near to the kitanomine gondola. The staff helps me to organise takkyubin (sending our luggage to the next hotel) . She helps me filling up the form etc. spoke good English and very helpful and friendly too.

Cons: The lobby was spacious but looks old. But it doesn’t mind me as the rooms are renovated beautifully.

Pros: Very quiet building, nice and clean public bath, great location near the slopes and dining.

Cons: Owner provided lift to ski resort in very morning which was awesome!

Pros: Very warm and comfortable room ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉclean bathroom and toilet and it close to the station, best hotel

Pros: The owners were super friendly and helped me so much after my skiing accident.

Pros: I did not arrive at the accomodation with high expectations, as it was the only hostel in our trip. However, I was pleased to have a decent sized family room and clean bathrooms. The tatami mattresses were comfortable. There was also a hot tub in the bathroom ready for use.

Cons: Could have had en suite bathrooms. Could provide towels free of charge

Pros: Too less bathroom only one for male and one for female while there are so many rooms. Stair is a bit too steep, OK for young people but not OK for old people.

Cons: Clean, cozy and warm welcome. Super near to the station.

Pros: The room we received was huge! Lots of room to move around and open up large suitcases. The facilities were quite good too and staff very friendly

Pros: Perfect accommodation for those wanting traditional Japanese accommodation. It was very clean, comfortable tatami room with good heating. Very close to many restaurants in Furano city (+6 within 5 minute walk).

Cons: Overall no complaints other than a toaster would be nice to help with breakfasts.

Pros: i enjoy all the accommodations and services here. i enjoy the scenery.

Pros: Location and value for money Staff is nice.

Pros: Staff can converse quite well in English. Breakfast (though not sure if it's worth the $) was great. Loved the bamboo pickles.

Cons: Stayed in 別館, heater in the room emits an awful kerosene smell when started, we ended up using the aircon to raise the temperature instead. Probably can advise travelers on that, especially those from non-seasonal countries.
